A company in Utah has a process for turning plastics of various grades into diesel fuel. Salt Lake City, Boise, and it looks like Phoenix now as well are working with them to recycle plastics. [Edit: The company is called Renewlogy] https://kjzz.org/content/859146/phoenix-convert-plastic-waste-fuel https://kjzz.org/content/859146/phoenix-convert-plastic-wast... "The City of Phoenix announced Wednesday it will soon begin converting certain plastic waste into liquid fuel. The fifth most populous city in the country has partnered with a waste management company and Renewlogy, a technology firm, to convert plastics 3-7 into fuel. Plastic items with a number between 3 and 7 in the recycling symbol are considered “low-value” and are expensive to recycle. The city expects the project to divert 10 tons of plastic waste from landfills every day, producing 60 barrels of liquid fuel."
